Two further cases of Ohdo syndrome delineate the phenotypic variability of the condition

Abstract

Ohdo syndrome (MIM 249620) is a multiple malformation syndrome characterized by blepharophimosis, ptosis, dental hypoplasia, hearing impairment and intellectual disability. A wide range of dysmorphic features and congenital abnormalities have been described in cases reported as Ohdo and Ohdo-like syndromes. We report a further two cases of Ohdo syndrome, one with mild features and the other more severely affected, illustrating the phenotypic variability of the condition. A review of the literature highlights the severe phenotype associated with distinctive facial features, as seen in Case 2 in this report. All cases with the severe phenotype have been sporadic. Subtelomeric FISH studies of a..
